Even the best and most enthusiastic outdoor lovers among us needs some inspiration, tips, and tricks to survive in the woods. Plus, let’s face it: watching others do the things we enjoy is entertaining! We can always learn something new from each other. And, when we’re too busy to find the time to go camping or engage in the outdoor activities we love, it’s still fun to watch videos about these topics.
Whatever the case, these Youtube channels will offer you practical ideas and survival tips to make your next camping expedition an enjoyable experience. (We’d love a subscribe to our YouTube channel while you’re over there! There aren’t a ton of videos on it yet, but we have a bunch planned for the future.)

Some of the locations they review are incredible and off the beaten track! My particular fave on their channel are the fun camping recipes.
Started as almost an afterthought, Homemade Wanderlust has grown to become a popular outdoor survival channel. Dixie just wanted to document her long hikes but soon enough, she found out that people wanted advice on how to prepare and handle such hikes. From her practical tips, to the beautiful scenery, this is an entertaining channel for anyone who appreciates the outdoors.
Preparing delicious food in the great outdoors in the main focus on Fresh Off the Grid’s Channel. If you think that camping means eating a lot of canned food and granola bars, think again. This channel has some really amazing recipes you can try.
